    lightweight stove?

    I've just bought an MSR 'pocket Rocket'.

    No idea why, kind of male retail therapy ......... far better than another handbag, or shoes

    It says "Use only MSR gas cylinders". Does this mean what it says, or does it mean I can also use Coleman cylinders?

    I know it's a dull question, but I doubt there is a MSR cylinder within 80 miles of here.
    Don't roll with a pig in poo. You get covered in poo and the pig likes it.

    Have used one quite a few times it's a mate's not mine, and have used any cylinder with a screw top.

    There have been problems with some non-MSR cannisters - I think there was a thread on the OMM forum. Best advice is to try it out before leaving home - not good to be camped in the middle of nowhere with no means of cooking!

    I've used primus, coledale and some weird czech brand on mine with no worries.

    The pocket rocket rocks - check out the noise when you put it on full blast with a new canister. It's well named that's for sure.
